    I like mine mashed up and mixed with onion and garlic powder on a tuna sandwich with tomatoes, onions, and spinach.

    Avocado is AWESOME with tuna. I substitute it for half the mayo when I make tuna sandwiches. YUM!

    when I never tried an avocado before I would think they were gross but honestly when I tried it they were fantastic. As long as you get a good ripe one (Dark and not hard), cut it up into 4 slices, they taste amazing with a pinch of salt on them and eat em like that or with something else. Or you could mix them up and make a guacamole and use it as a dip. To me they taste good just plain as they are.

    Cut it in half, remove the pit, lightly salt it, eat with spoon or fork.


    Seriously legit just like that.

    I used to be scared of them but now I absolutely love them.

    Agreed!!

    Or guacamole with a few chips. That's always a good place to start.

    I love them just cut in half with some salt and pepper. But they are yummy in salads, as guacamole, in a sandwich. Good stuff.

    I've never eaten an avocado in my life and I recently bought one. So I was wondering what would be the best and yummiest ways to try it out?

    you have been missing out all of this time: just cut it in half, remove the pit and you are in business, here some ideas: in guacamole (mashed avocado, diced onion white or red, lime, salt, tomato and jalapeños) just with salt and a fork, on salads (lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumbers and sliced avocado, then dress with lime and salt) with grilled chicken just sliced it and have it, with a tuna salad (canned tuna, mini peppers, pepper and salt in a pan with olive oil mixed, then, serve it on lettuce leaf sliced avocado on top yum!) on sandwiches, wraps, pretty much it goes with everything its so good in taste and for your health.
    I love them :love: and they always add the extra flavor i need in my food :happy:

    Cut the avocado in half, scoop out the seed, and fill the hollow with balsamic drizzle. Eat with a spoon :)

    I just made an avocado salad dressing today with 1 avocado, 4 T. of lemon juice, some garlic and other spices, and maybe 1/2 c. nonfat milk to thin it out a bit. It was pretty good! If you google "avocado dressing" you should find several recipes to choose from.

    All of the above! Love it cut up and mixed into my scrambled egg whites and veggies, and mixed in with tuna to replace half or more of the mayo, and guacamole is the best! But as a snack, I like cubing half an avocado, with a few drops of lemon juice and a tiny bit of salt. With avocado you have to be careful. It's really good for you and has lots of nutrients, but it's got a high calorie and fat count. While it is better than fat and calories in many other forms, you just have to make sure you account for them in your daily allowance. Good luck!!

    I'm absolutely crazy about Avocado. Plain or lightly salted. In place of Mayo in sandwhiches, with eggs, spreaded on toast. I was raised up with Avocado, mmm..

    I love it as a topping for pasta! Cook up a batch of whole wheat pasta. While its on the stove, prep the sauce:

    In a food processor, add:
    -1 avocado
    -1 cup spinach
    -1/4 cup basil
    -Juice and zest from one lime
    -2 Tbs olive oil
    -1 clove garlic
    -1 tsp salt
    Blend, and voila! Heaven

    This!

    And will also use in place of mozerella in caprese salads if I'm out of cheese.

    I lived for over 30 years in the land of Avocados (Sta Barbara County). As has been mentioned, it's often difficult to find ripe avocados in the store. If unripe, place in brown paper bag in a cupboard away from light. Check frequently (at least once a day) as it will ripen quickly.

    Avocados are one of my favorite foods.
